10 Months Old

Stella Beth is 10 months old!

At 10 months old, Stella is becoming her own little person.  She goes to bed around 8:30 and sleeps until 6:30 AM or so.  She does wake up for a bottle most nights.  Somehow, we will break her of that!  She is not walking yet, but she is very very close.  She can cruise around furniture and she can stand independently for short amounts of time.  She is very efficient at crawling.  She does not like to miss out on anything, so she goes and goes.  She loves to crawl to the office doors when Jarrett is working.  She stands up and leans on the doors and yells, "Daa Daa, Daa Daa".  She said "Mama", but usually only when she is crying! :(  She is saying Bristol's name, too.  He is usually the first thing she points at when she wakes up.  She eats pretty much anything.  She loves carrots, potatoes, and noodles the most. 

Stella likes to play with her walking toys, phones, and stuffed animals.  She loves playing with Gus and Garrett.  She crawls and follows them around.  She loves their boy toys, dinosaurs, and digging in the dirt with them.  She is tough.  She doesn't cry very much.  Bristol is her buddy and she likes to give him hugs.
